Mentored Youth Hunter Program

Mentored Youth Preference Point Information

As an incentive to participate in the Mentored Youth Hunter Program you receive one mentored youth "preference point" for each year that you register in the program. Preference points are used to apply for controlled hunts. These hunts limit the number of hunters that are allowed in a given area in order to protect wildlife populations and/or enhance the hunting experience. Many deer and elk plus all antelope and spring bear hunts are managed as controlled hunts. Hunters with the highest number of preference points have the best odds of receiving tags for a controlled hunt.

Mentored youth preference point(s) must be converted into regular preference point(s) before they can be used on a controlled hunt draw. When you decide to convert your point(s), all of the mentored youth preference point(s) that you have accumulated to that date must be used towards one specific controlled hunt series. You must submit a controlled hunt application for the hunt series that you have chosen before your points can be converted, application deadline to apply for Spring Bear is February 10th and Big Game is May 15th. Your mentored youth preference point(s) do not expire, however decisions to convert mentored youth preference point(s) are permanent and will remain in the system until successful in a draw.

The Request to Redeem Mentored Youth Preference Points must be received by June 1st.

Converting mentored youth preference point(s) is done by submitting the form below. If you have questions about your point(s) please contact ODFW License services at 503-947-6101. Mail or fax the completed form to:
